    What did Odom do? Raise his hand in practice and declare, "Send me to the D-League, coach. I'm sucking hard right now." Hilarious!

    Frisco is right by Plano. A wealthy suburb of Dallas. Nice town. They have the Rangers Double A affiliate there also. Frisco RoughRiders.

    Kris Humphries bails out of a Kardashian marriage after only 30 days and is now enjoying the best season of his entire career, establishing himself as a legitimate NBA starter.

    Lamar stays married to a Kardashian -- the former All-Star goes into a tailspin and his entire career goes down the drain.

    Coincidence? I think not.

    How this will turn out---Mav's end up agreeing to a buyout with Odom and the Lakers snatch him up with a new manageable salary. Much cuddles and hugs and kisses are had between Kobe and Lamar. He helps push them into the playoffs, where they beat the Mavs. Good laughs are had by all.

    Odom's is paid $9 million this year, right? That may well be more than the total salary of the entire D leagures. LOL:grin:

    I'm not even a fan of Odom but some people on this thread are just been douches like: "what a f'n loser." I think his brother just died recently and someone else close to him died recently as well... Basketball is probably the last thing on his mind right now

    His cousin was murdered in July. A few days later, a 15yr old pedestrian was killed by the car he was a passenger in. That's over 6 months ago.
    He recently took 9 days off and no one really knew where he was...saying his dad was "seriously ill." But that wasn't true. Khloe says the July murder bothered him for awhile.

    Honestly, it's ok if he wants a sabbatical, but this seems a bit dramatic for someone to stop showing up to work.

    LO's always been a fragile sort, mentally. He responded on the Lakers because Kobe is strong enough mentally to carry the entire team.

    To be fair, out of all GOOD players who played with Kobe, the only ones who left or got traded were Shaq, Fisher (who later returned), Ariza, Odom. Everybody else were scrubs.

    Shaq was good in Miami
    Fisher's best season was his second year in GS
    Ariza was never that good to begin with, only had a nice playoff series.
    And Odom is sucking.


    So this long list is currently at one.


    Btw, I am a Kobe fan, but if you are going to make an argument, back it up.

    Wow he's really spiraling down ala Steve Francis. Sucks for the Mavs to lose an important forward in Chandler, only to be replaced by this guy. Also, Juck Fohn Terry!

    I think it's badrabbit.

    All those guys sucked. They sucked with and without Kobe.

    EXCEPT:
    Sasha was having a career year in NJ before going back to Europe.
    Farmar is having a great year behind Deron.

    Kinda funny if you think about it. I always said "Kobe took Odom and a bunch of D-Leaguers to 7 games against the Suns," now Odom is a D-Leaguer as well :eek:
